The sheriff of a small town in southwest Texas must keep custody of a murderer whose brother, a powerful rancher, is trying to help him escape. After a friend is killed trying to muster support for him, he and his deputies must find a way to hold out against the rancher's hired guns until the marshal arrives. In the meantime, matters are complicated by the presence of a young gunslinger - and a mysterious beauty who just came in on the last stagecoach.

Such low expectations because I really hate John Wayne, but I have to say this one was fantastic. Martin, Brennan, Nelson and Dickinson were all fantastic (Martin especially), and Wayne for his part seemed to dial back the standard levels of bluster. The singalong in the middle was beautiful, and the movie throughout felt like it gave everybody time to breathe and live. Loved it.

Probably the best classic Western ever made. Great story, great characters, good acting and an excellent cast that can convince. A classic.

Mediocre at best. There's not one memorable scene in this movie. Its story is predictable and shallow: no dilemmas, no tragic, no profound love, no motives, no insight into politics or society. People are stereotypes with no credible background story. Their motives are unclear. They look too clean. The only anti-hero type and credible figure at all is maybe Dean Martin who plays an ex-drunkard who gets a second chance (sic!) (oh and he sings beautifully - he's THE Dean Martin after all). The violence is not realistic. Gunfights are just not what an actual gun fight looks like. Sometimes it has a strange comedy feel too it - but that's certainly not what the director intended. Mediocre score. Not a stretch of that presumably wonderful dessert scenery is shown.

Predictable and John Wayne just being John Wayne. Only thing that might make this movie worth watching is Dean Martin and Walter Brennan.

Unless you count Jackie Chan's character in Shanghai Noon, this is my first John Wayne film. And it's not just John Wayne that's missing from my watch history - somehow the entire Western genre has been quite neglected (outside of a handful of modern Westerns). If this movie is any indication, I'v More

The good outweighs the bad in Hawks macho movie.

Filmed by Howard Hawks as a response to what he saw as none macho cinema in Gary Cooper's acclaimed High Noon, Rio Bravo has moments of brilliance that are sadly coupled with failings that are not Hawksian peccadilloes. The macho plot is simple b More
